I bought this lens used for a trip to France; I anticipated being in very old buildings with low light and no flash permitted. All of that turned out to be true and the lens performed very well. Notre Dame, for instance was dark with a great amount of detailed stone work, art work etc. I switched my camera (Sony A 350) to Aperture Priority and managed to get good pictures in spite of the lack of light. Some of them were grainy because of the very high ISO that the camera automatically selected. In spite of that, I feel that simply getting reasonable photographs in that low light was exceptional. One con - not for the lens but for my selection of the lens. If you have a digital camera, the crop factor makes a 20 mm lens much less wide angle than used to be the case with a film (full frame) camera. This 20 mm lens is about the equivalent of a 35 mm lens on a full frame camera. Should I go into similar circumstances I'll look for around a 10 mm lens; there were times when I simply could not back up far enough to frame the photofraph I wanted. concerning value, I bought the lens on eBay for less than 1/2 the full retail price and got a pristine lens. I'm very happy with the value.Read full review
This is an excellent lens. I bought it based on reviews I read on dyx um.com. it does not disappoint. Excellent wide-angle photos minimal distortion. The autofocus wanders a little bit but given the wide-angle I have no complaints.
